This weeks story of timing is with Tamryn – heads up that it’s emotional and quite powerful. Tamryn’s voice is so soothing and she speaks so eloquently about her journey – with the coolest accent.

Tamryn admits that she decided a bit later in life that she wanted to have children. She never really had the urge, but suddenly around 33 years old, she suddenly, surprisingly, and desperately wanted it.

Tamryn got pregnant quickly, the second month of trying, but unfortunately suffered a  missed miscarriage and a ruptured ectopic pregnancy. This resulted in her losing a fallopian tube. That traumatic experience lead to a journey to acceptance and healing and time spent volunteering to help grieve. 

“I had never felt the passing of time as intensely as i did during the waiting between cycles to find out if [I had] fallen pregnant. I remember how excruciating that is, where, having experienced a miscarriage, I would say its like a mini-miscarriage experience every time because you are hoping and hoping and hoping and then when you see that you’ve got you’re period, its just this devastation”

Tamryn goes on to tan about how she had to decide to just choose her life. She had been part of every FB group that exists for loss, infertility (#ICANRELATE). She admits that she was so obsessed with her reality and wasn’t engaging in the parts of her life that were working, such as her relationships and personal connections.

She talks about the moment where she decided she could no longer live every moment on the roller coaster that is infertility, and chose her life instead.

For months from that moment, Tamryn fell pregnant, by surprise.

How amazing is that! Before this, I didn’t know , well I KNEW how amazing the woman’s body was, but I didn’t know that the remaining fallopian tube migrates on every cycle between ovaries – THAT IS NATURE AT WORK!

Also, at the time of this release, Tamryn was pregnant with baby #2!

I know it can be so annoying to hear that you have to just “give up” and you’ll get pregnant. No one ever tells you the HOW. HOW do you expect me to give up??

I understand you.

I think it comes from within. IDK for sure though.
anyway, the lesson here is that its totes possible to have a baby (even two) with just one fallopian tube. Tamryn is proof!

This weeks story of timing is with Tamryn. This episode is very emotional and very powerful. Tamryn’s voice is so soothing and she speaks so eloquently about her journey which involves a missed miscarriage and a ruptured ectopic pregnancy, and a journey to acceptance and healing before conceiving with just one fallopian tube!

Mary Thompson is an ayurvedic practitioner and has been teaching ayurvedic principles for more than 20 years.

Think you are running out of time? Mary conceived at 42 years old!

Mary brings a wealth of knowledge about Ayurveda and the human body mixed in with some really cool stories 

I’m pumped to give you guys a taste of Ayurveda!

The name of this episode is wonder and that’s bc my favorite of her many famous lines (used in class and this episode) is – “ i wonder and would you consider” this is one of the ways she may approach a client  – by proceeding with curiously and without being Pushy -bc the power is always in the hands of the person you are just guiding them on their health journey 

This is actually the very first call I ever recorded. I was in cape cod for my friend’s wedding, and right across the street from our airbnb there was a pathway that lead to a walkway/bike path surrounded by tees, and bunches, and sunlight. We didnt know it was there when we booked the airbnb, so you can imagine how excited I was when I accidentally found it looking for an escape so my husband wouldn’t hear me doing the interview (was super shy about it and still kind am).

This is Rachel’s story, and its quick but so special to me. She mentions trying an HSG and Clomid, both unsuccessful. There was some slight male factor but it didn’t seem to be a big issue and was fixed with a vitamin. Rachel also had a mild case of endometriosis, which resulted in one surgery in between TTC (trying to conceive).

Rachel spent about two years coming to terms with what experts told her of her inability to become pregnant. She spent this time practicing self-care both mentally and physically. 

Due to complications relating to endometriosis, Rachel and her doctor together decided that her next move should be a hysterectomy aka removing the uterus. Can you guess what happened right before her surgery?

Listen to her full story here:

Episode 1 – Interview with Dr. Henry Klapholz, MD, MEE, OBGYN, Professor, Obstetrics & Gynecology Tufts University School of Medicine

I think it’s ironic that my first episode is from the west. once you listen to the episode, you’ll understand why it is that I don’t mind.

For me, the interview with Dr. Klapholz has an informative, sort of therapeutic feel. Some topics we touch on: OPK’s, PCOS, endometriosis, miscarriage and IVF, mixed in with a few cool stories and some uplifting messages from a wise teacher. Enjoy.
